I just made this, it's very good! I added some celery at the beginning though. I think it would be good with some tomatoes added.

This looks very delish! What is the difference between "paprika" and "sweet paprika" ?

I love lentil soup, and will try this soon. Thank you. 555555

You can get sweet paprika at Penzys spice. If you cannot find it just use regular, I did.

Thanks for the nice comments.
